Malcolm Arnold
One of the best-known British composers of the 20th century, Malcolm Arnold was a true eclectic, composing everything from symphonies and ballets to concertos and film scores. His music is constantly engaging and directly communicative, but behind the popular image of Arnold is a much more complex personality, with a remarkably rich output to match.
